Our approach to employer engagement

The University’s strategy articulates our ambition to play a leading role in the social, cultural, economic and environmental development of Nottingham city, the East Midlands, and the United Kingdom.
We deploy our resources and expertise in close alignment with strategic partners and engage with a wide range of organisations in order to enhance their prospects and also those of our students.
